The facility is recently having issues passing its Toxicity sampling. The ORC and Permittee have been trying to figure out what is causing the issue to no avail for several months now. On the day of the visit the Property Manager and the ORC were going door to door to see discuss the issue with the tenants. The ORC also stated they will be reaching out to a Consultant for assistance. It is unclear what is causing the fail results, but also why Toxicity remains in this Permit since this facility is not a complex wastewater; there is no industrial wastewater, it is 100% domestic. NH3 monitoring has been a part of the Permit for years and these numbers tend to be low.
